He Is Wearing a Military Academy Uniform, With The Rank Of Cadet Capt On His Sleeve. Can You Read The Letters On The Front Of His Kepi ? The Uniform Dates From The Mid 1800's. trk5capt...

Thanks trk5capt , the letters are hard to read , but I think the last letter might be an ''A'' which could stand for ''Academy'' and the first letter might be a ''U'' . So maybe it says ''USMA'' for United States Military Academy . Thanks for your input !
